romney said the reason he lost and president obama won is that president obama bribed minority voters and young voters and women with gifts. >> what the president's campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote and that strategy worked. he gave them a big gift on immigration with the dream act amnesty program, which was obviously very, very popular with hispanic voters. and then number two, was obama care. and so for any lower income hispanic family, obama care was massive. let me tell you, what i would do if i were a democrat running four years from now, i'd say, you know what, dental care ought to be included in obama care. immigration, we can solve. but the giving away free stuff is a hard thing to compete with. >> on that call, portions of which were edited and posted online by abc news, on that call mr. romney also praised his campaign team for being no drama and highly effective. now, everything went perfectly. according to abc news, mr. romney

and so the rest of the country might benefit from obama care. people in all the other states are going to get health insurance, but a state like oklahoma where they have 600,000 people who have no health insurance in oklahoma, most of them would get health insurance under the affordable care act and the governor is saying, no, the citizens of my state are not going to get that help. >> you bring up a good point, which is in most of the states where governors are rejecting it, it could benefit greatly. here are the rates for those opting out. texas has a rate of 25.5% uninsured. georgia, 22%. louisiana, 22%. florida, 21%. this is a fifth of the public here doesn't have health insurance. so i guess in terms of how this plays out in the state house, i wonder if governors hold on to their seats once they reject something that would have a considerable human benefit. >> it will have a huge human benefit. it's not just the people who get health insurance. you know, there are hospitals in these states. today when people have no health insurance, they s

they are mad at barack obama. >> they are. but when it comes to the delivery system and the money that can be saved in the long haul, if the federal government comes into a state and sets up the mechanisms in place, doesn't it make it easier to get universal health care when that time comes? >> absolutely, it does. and you know, this is the bizarre thing about their choice. the fact is that they could create unique and different systems in different states. when the affordable care act was passed, it was passed with an idea that there would be maximum flexibility. they thought that letting the states establish their own exchanges would get buy-in from conservatives. instead they are refusing this and the end result is, we are going to have a much more nationalized program. it's going to be good for some states. some states have not done enough on health care. and those states will have better quality. but some states that have done a lot on health care, these governors are cutting off their nose to spite their face. >> meanwhi
